Unknown
to most Spurs fans when he was signed by Glenn Hoddle in June 2001,
the Yugoslavian made a refreshing impact on the Spurs fans during the
pre-season games leading up to the 2001-2002 season. Starting
his career at Rad, he was a Yugoslavian international following his move
to Red Star Belgrade, where he won League and League Cup medals.

Playing
in the hole left in the middle of defence, he has brought new skills
to the Tottenham back line. Not your typical physical, "get
stuck in" English defender, Goran uses his reading of the game to
dispossess opponents, using his brain most of the time and his head
when needed. The most telling aspect of his game (and the one
why Hoddle signed him) is his use of the ball from the back. Bunjevcevic is able to bring the ball out of defence as he has the
ability to run with the ball, but he also is aware of any movement up
front, so can look to make a pass which will start a move going
forward. This could open up a new tactic for the club, as the
distribution from the defence has notoriously been poor.

It
remains to be seen how he fares against the best that the Premiership
can offer, but he has Champions League experience and also played
against Leicester City in the UEFA Cup a couple of seasons ago.
He should be aware that it is fast and furious in the Premier League
and if he can sort out any communication problems, he could have featured as
an integral part of Glenn Hoddle's passing revolution.

Unfortunately,
an early injury ruled him out of the first batch of games and when he
returned, he got an elbow in the face from Hasselbaink, which kept him
out of the side for the rest of the season. Back in the team for
the start of 2002-03, he played on and off for the team throughout the
season, without establishing himself as a regular. The same
happened at the beginning of the 2003-04 season, but when David Pleat
took the reins, he was ousted in the 4-4-2 system, where he would have
had trouble fitting in.

After this Goran featured little in the
side, but was a regular standby who was called upon when needed and was in
the side that took to the field against Oldham Athletic in the League Cup
on 22nd September 2004, when he netted his first goal for the club and a
month later at Bolton Wanderers he scored his second and last goal for
Spurs in the same competition.

Picked up a scary injury against Charlton
Athletic on 6th November 2004. A routine kick on the shin in
the 15th minute ballooned at half time and the medical staff
sent Goran to hospital, where he was operated on as the central defender
had developed acute compartment syndrome. This is where blood enters
the muscles and cannot escape, causing pressure on the tissue and this
can cause a great deal of damage. His injury came at a bad time, when
Goran was having a good run in the team and had scored in the away
League Cup ties at Oldham Athletic and Bolton Wanderers.

Despite not getting a place in the team,
Bunjevcevic was the model professional in the Reserves, who he captained
to the Premier Reserve League South title in 2005-06.

The central defender was released by Spurs at
the end of the 2005-06 season on a free transfer.

Spent one season at ADO Den Haag in Holland
before retiring from the game and returned to Red Star Belgrade to take
up the Sporting Director's role in March 2008.
